Shove
To shove is to push all your chips into the pot, going all in. It is also called a jam or a push.
The simple explanation
When you shove, you bet everything you have. The opponent has to call all of their chips, or less if they have a smaller stack, or fold. It is a strong play, often used when stacks are short.
A closer look
Shoves are used for value and as bluffs. With short stacks, a shove is often better than a raise, because it gives the opponent the worst price and gets the maximum fold equity. Against a shove, calling ranges depend on the pot odds, your stack and ICM in tournaments. A shove of many times the pot can be a bluff that is meant to scare away strong hands. The expression 'I shoved' is used in hand histories.
A practical example
With 10 big blinds left, a player holding A♣ 9♦ shoves on the button.
